Christian Tattoo Galleries

Christian TattooIn Christian tattoo galleries you can find many different symbols that are uniquely Christian. With the right tattoo artist, almost any image can be turned into a tattoo design. Therefore, almost any symbol that you see today that describes Christianity, you will see in Christian tattoo galleries.

Of course the cross is the most popular. You will find crosses of all types and sizes. Crosses can be adorned with crowns and thorns or the body of Jesus. You can mix crosses with hearts, flowers and animals to get a unique design. In Christian tattoo galleries you will find many ways to represent in loving memory tattoos.

Angels are a big part of Christian tattoo designs. Archangels like Michael or Gabriel can be inked as large back tattoos. Tiny cherubs can make nice small ankle or shoulder tattoos. A guardian angel can be put on one shoulder with the wings wrapping around as if in protection.

You will find the best Christian tattoos not in Christian tattoo galleries, but in regular online tattoo galleries. This is because the best online tattoo galleries have thousands of high quality designs that you can browse. A good online tattoo gallery will show you pictures of tattoos that have already been inked so you can see what it will look like on skin. You will also get lots of ideas from looking at many different designs.

Don't think that because it looks good on paper or on someone else that it will look good on you. You have to take into account your body type. You also need to be aware of how much of the tattoo you want to show. Do you have to worry about covering it up at work? A tattoo is a big decision and shouldn't be taken lightly.

You know being a Christian, I can not help but notice the number of Christian Tattoos I am noticing on some of the folks at my church. I can not say that I dislike them, on the contrary I find them very striking. Different crosses, words in Latin, bibles, and many other images. I spoke to a young man about why he would want to place Christian Tattoos on his body, and he told me "He wanted to let everyone know that he has devoted his life to God"!

I made a big mistake and let my Mom know that I was considering getting a Christian Cross tattoo, and she was very quick to remind me that the book of Leviticus clearly states that "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord." Some say that the passage is referring to practices of pagans of the time, in which they would carve idols on their bodies at funerals. The new Testament does not mention these restrictions.

So a lot of young Christian's have decided to celebrate their union with God, and let everyone know that they have given there life to him and they want to display it through Christian Tattoos such as Praying Hands, Chalices, The Sacred Heart, Angels, Mary, The Apostles and even Jesus himself! These symbols could include doves, angels fighting demons in battle scenes, Biblical references, crucifixion scenes, and many more.

In a day where you look around and Religion is being taken away at alarming rates, I think it very noble that an individual would take a stance and tell the world, Look at me! I have given myself to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! There are way to many things that are worse then getting Christian Tattoos!
